Cue dumbasses tossing their iphones in the toaster oven in 3… 2…
Oh boy! Idiot TikTok kids is going to start microwaving devices.
I tried it on my car but it doesn’t turn on anymore. Deceiving news
Sounds like a 4chan prank, but… 🪦
brb chucking my batteries in the oven
it’s a cheap and easy thrill
Yes but how can shareholders profit from this??
Important note near the end of the article - they aren’t saying we should cook batteries really -
“The team’s hypothesis is that the structural disorder developing inside LIBs may become a “tunable parameter” that, if tweaked using chargers at precise voltages to alter said battery composition, could be used to rejuvenate the batteries in our tech without fires.”
This is a good old idea that goes back to the days of desulfating lead batteries with powerful shocks of high-amperage current. Might just need a special Healing Charger that applies the right voltage/current to dissolve the bad crystals in lithium-ion systems
In the good ol’ days when I ran out of battery and every charger had a different stupid little connector, I often put my phone on the window still or heater to get a little bit of juice to do what I needed to do.
I guess I am a scientist.
We did the opposite, put it in the freezer
so putting batteries in the fridge wasn’t useful after all, we should put them in the oven
so I can now put my spicy pillows in the oven and tell the insurance men the internet told me to?
Putting my LG G Flex which had a boot loop problem due to a soldering issue on the battery solved the problem temporarily!
Edit: oh also that was the freezer
I’ve known some old people to put their bootloops in the freezer because they think it won’t go stale as fast.
Who greenlit this article ?
Neat! So if I put my phone in the microwave it will reset the battery?
Only if you want it soggy, air fryer works better
So is a toaster the new wireless charging hub?
Wait, nobody came up with this before?
Thanks, climate change.
Oven, 450?
Nah, set it to broil for optimal results /s
